Set Operations Dbba05
1. **Problem:** Find the union of sets $A$ and $B$.
**Step 1:** Recall the union formula: $$A \cup B = \{x : x \in A \text{ or } x \in B\}$$
**Step 2:** List all unique elements from both sets $A = \{7,9,10,11,12\}$ and $B = \{4,6,10,11,12\}$.
**Step 3:** Combine without duplicates: $$A \cup B = \{4,6,7,9,10,11,12\}$$
2. **Problem:** Find the intersection of sets $A$ and $B$.
**Step 1:** Recall the intersection formula: $$A \cap B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \in B\}$$
**Step 2:** Identify common elements in both sets: $10, 11, 12$.
**Step 3:** Write the intersection: $$A \cap B = \{10,11,12\}$$
3. **Problem:** Find the difference $A \setminus B$.
**Step 1:** Recall the difference formula: $$A \setminus B = \{x : x \in A \text{ and } x \notin B\}$$
**Step 2:** Elements in $A$ but not in $B$ are $7, 9$.
**Step 3:** Write the difference: $$A \setminus B = \{7,9\}$$
4. **Problem:** Find the difference $B \setminus A$.
**Step 1:** Recall the difference formula: $$B \setminus A = \{x : x \in B \text{ and } x \notin A\}$$
**Step 2:** Elements in $B$ but not in $A$ are $4, 6$.
**Step 3:** Write the difference: $$B \setminus A = \{4,6\}$$
5. **Problem:** Find $\overline{B} \cap A$ where $\overline{B}$ is the complement of $B$ in the universal set $U = \{1,2,3,\ldots,12\}$.
**Step 1:** Find complement of $B$: $$\overline{B} = U \setminus B = \{1,2,3,5,7,8,9\}$$
**Step 2:** Find intersection with $A$: $$\overline{B} \cap A = \{7,9\}$$
6. **Problem:** Find $A \setminus \overline{B}$.
**Step 1:** Recall $\overline{B} = \{1,2,3,5,7,8,9\}$.
**Step 2:** Elements in $A$ but not in $\overline{B}$ are those in $A$ and in $B$: $$A \setminus \overline{B} = A \cap B = \{10,11,12\}$$
7. **Problem:** Find $A \setminus \overline{A}$.
**Step 1:** Complement of $A$ is $$\overline{A} = U \setminus A = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,8\}$$
**Step 2:** Elements in $A$ but not in $\overline{A}$ are all elements of $A$ (since $A$ and $\overline{A}$ are disjoint): $$A \setminus \overline{A} = A = \{7,9,10,11,12\}$$
8. **Problem:** Find $A \cap \overline{A}$.
**Step 1:** Since $A$ and $\overline{A}$ are complements, they have no common elements: $$A \cap \overline{A} = \{\}$$
